It went down hill from there, complete with condescending lecture about proper pumping and tire pressure. Yes, I can read the numbers on the side of the tire. It was very strange. I stayed polite, thanked them, and left, never to return. I wasn't a customer that night, but could have been a future one, but not after that experience.
